Parent Guidance in the Nursery School

Title: Parent Guidance in the Nursery SchoolAuthor(s): Margarete RubenPublisher: John Wiley, New YorkISBN: , Pages: , Year:Search for book at Amazon.com

Developed as an outgrowth of her seminar for nursery school directors and teachers at the School For Nursery Years in Los Angeles, California, Margarete Ruben's small handbook suggests ways to help parents who are concerned with such common issues as: Thumbsucking, The Child and His Food, Toilet Training, Aggression, The Timid Child, The New Baby, Masturbation and Fantasy, Sleep Disturbances, Jealousy, and The Child's Growing Ego.
Since each of these topics is presented as a lively, believable interview between a parent and a counselor, the author is able also to discuss subtly various procedures in the counseling process. In my opinion this little book will be a real find for the psychoanalytically oriented audience for which it was intended. However, its use of a nontechnical vocabulary, its readability, and its practical suggestions will also recommend it to all who work with pre-school children and their parents.
